STG Soundlabs were showing their brand new .VCO which is an 8HP VCO "analogue relaxation core"" oscillator with sawtooth, triangle, and sub octave square wave outputs, and an integrated drift generator.
Bubba Ayoub gave us the lowdown on the new module, which is aiming to be released this Summer priced at $200.
The module features a Drift Generator, which could be described as a drunken walk, or perhaps a random wobbulator. In technical language, it is a random, in rate and peak, bipolar linear function generator with smoothing. Some people patch their entire synthesizer to do what this thing has built in! It can move veeeery slowly or squiggle very quickly. Its output is normalized to the modulation input, so it can be easily defeated by plugging a new source into the modulation jack.
